Hauck Fun For Kids is recalling more than 26,000 go-karts because the steering wheel can detach, break or crack while in use, posing a laceration or collision hazard to young children.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the recall involves the Nerf® Battle Racers, a four-wheel pedal-powered go-kart for children ages 4 to 10.

Only go-karts with model number T91869 and a date of manufacture between January 2016 and March 2017 are being recalled. Both are printed on a white sticker located on the underside of the seat.
